Origami unveiled?

0306-cebit-01.jpgI'm at Cebit in Hanover and happened to walk past the Samsung booth today in Hall 1. The stand is still under construction but I got a chance to see what appeared to be Samsung's new portable PC based on Microsoft's Origami technology.

There were a couple of small terminals on display under the Microsoft, Intel and Samsung logos. After a few seconds they were covered up by a Samsung representative who came over when he saw me!

I didn't get a chance to snap a picture -- so you'll have to take my word for it -- but the device is roughly A5-sized. On the right and left side of the screen were navigation buttons. Not much more to report from my brief few seconds ... but come back tomorrow and we might get a picture!!

A PSP on gym candy. The guys at Apple have got to love seeing this.

I think Origami is just an early april fools joke, theirs no way Microsoft can be serious with this thing.

The Newton is now a nice paperweight. This could be cool.
